Coastal Marine Services

Environmental services related to the licensing and permitting of projects in marine and estuarine environments are specialties of Normandeau Associates. Such projects generally must meet several layers of environmental regulatory requirements. Marine and estuarine environmental studies we have conducted often required detailed and sometimes long-term baseline monitoring studies; substantial sampling programs involving both divers and remote sample collection; sample processing; resource and materials assessment and risk assessment studies; and mitigation and remediation studies. We have extensive data management capabilities for processing and analyzing the information collected during these studies, and the expertise to report this information in a concise and focused manner for our clients.

Services include:

• Preparation of EAs and EISs
• Permitting for dredging and disposal projects
• Permitting for port and coastal development and coastal protection projects
